BLEND the banana so it is gooey or liquidy.
Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl, leaving out salt, baking soda, and chocolate chips - stir. You may wish to add an extra tablespoon of vanilla or a few tablespoons of hot water if there is some powder remaining.
Stir in salt and soda, then stir in chocolate chips. It should now look and smell like raw cookie dough, with a little hint of banana
Drop tablespoonfuls on an UNGREASED baking sheet and bake at 350 for 10 minutes (take them out after 10 minutes, they'll look undone, but after a minute out of the oven they'll look perfect. if you leave them in for any more the bottoms will burn).
Enjoy!

:) We liked this recipe. I had to make minor changes. Due to my daughters food allergy, there is no safe margarine/butter. So, in place of that, i had to use veg. shortening. They loved it and i thought it tasted great too. They werent fluffy but that's okay, as long as they liked it and it tasted good. Thanks for this great recipe!
